"I think I understand a little better. You want not just three different sizes of the same image, you want those different sizes to actually BE different images (not just scaled)."
Right! If some images need to be just scaled versions of the original, the user will not upload the variations manually, since then they can be scaled automatically. But in most cases, the variations are different images, like a detail of the original (cropped and possibly also scaled). What you write about aliases I understand. But it implies that ALL images on the site are already scaled to all these variations. I wanted to know if you can specify how images are scaled *during upload*, depending on the containing class, or folder. So that you can have different types of variations depending on the class (or folder) that contains the images. So, my question remains: can I create automatically scaled variations on the fly, without having ALL images automatically scaled during upload to all possible sizes ever needed (as specified in image.ini). I just want to avoid having 1000's of unused variations of images on my server.
